A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland and the Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides
Samuel Johnson, James Boswell, Jack Lynch, and Celia Barnes
Abstract
I had desired to visit the Hebrides, or Western Islands of Scotland, so long, that I scarcely remember how the wish was originally excited;* and was in the Autumn of the year 1773 induced to undertake the journey, by finding in Mr. Boswell a companion, whose acuteness would help my inquiry, and whose gaiety of conversation and civility of manners are sufficient to counteract the inconveniencies of travel, in countries less hospitable than we have passed.*
